Servings 8 Chicken burgers
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup water
Coating
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make thinner pieces.
- Season the chicken with the salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg, flour, and water to make a batter. Add the seasoned chicken and mix well to coat.
- In a large ziplock bag or bowl, combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder for the coating.
- Place one piece of chicken at a time into the bag and shake until it’s fully coated. Repeat with the remaining pieces.
- Arrange the coated chicken on a tray and refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes. This helps the coating stick better during frying.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
- Transfer to a wire rack to keep it crispy.
